It turned out that all the Hidden Guards they had placed had indeed been "dealt with."
The Hidden Guards assigned to this mission had been meticulously selected and each possessed extraordinary skills.
Yet the king was able to eliminate them all single-handedly, leaving only one wound on each person, all killed by a single strike with a bamboo chopstick.
There was no great battle, nor was there a river of blood. Aside from the blood at the wounds, not even the floor was stained.
Upon reflection, had the king made a move against the Crown Prince at that time... and had the Crown Prince not been able to signal by throwing his cup, no one would have known, no one would have been aware...
Such an excellent opportunity, yet the king did not take it.
